Electric curtain system and travel setting method thereof

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electric curtains and in particular to an electric curtain system and a travel setting method thereof.

Curtain is one of indispensable articles in the daily lives, which is mainly used to protect the personal privacy of the users and achieve the functions of light blocking and dust blocking and the like. Curtains can be divided into two types: manual curtains and electric curtains. The electric curtains usually include a remote controller which can be used to set the curtains and control the curtains to be on or off.

In the prior arts, travel setting can usually be performed on the electric curtains, that is, an up travel position and a down travel position are set based on user requirements. However, because the travel setting function is on the remote controller, the user needs to first match the remote controller with the curtain body before performing travel setting. This matching process includes many steps and so it is inconvenient for ordinary people and especially for the elderly to perform such operations. Secondly, the remote controller of the electric curtains in the prior arts usually uses a control mode of one key for multiple uses and combination key, leading to complex operation of the remote controller. In this case, the user may be easily confused about the travel setting or carry out mis-operations, bringing inconvenience to the use.

Compared with the prior arts, the above system and method of the present disclosure have the following advantages: two physical travel setting keys are set on the curtain, and when the user needs to set the up and down travels of the curtain, it is not required to first match the remote controller and then learn how to control the remote controller but carry out travel setting simply by using the corresponding travel setting keys, leading to simple and convenient setting and avoiding mis-operations.

Numerals of the drawings are described below: 1. mounting housing, 2. up travel setting key, and 3. down travel setting key.

The embodiments of the present disclosure will be detailed below with examples thereof shown in the drawings. Similar or same numerals represent similar or same elements or elements having similar or same functions throughout the specification. The embodiments described by referring to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to explain the present disclosure rather than to limit the present disclosure.

There is provided an electric curtain system. As shown in, the electric curtain system comprises a motor and a controller and usually also comprises a remote controller. A matching key is set on a curtain to match the curtain by the remote controller, and then control the curtain by the remote controller. The above are operations of the conventional electric curtains in the prior arts. In the present embodiment, an up travel setting keyand a down travel setting keyare added on the basis of the conventional electric curtain. In this case, even when you cannot carry out remote controller matching nor use the remote controller, you can still perform the up and down travel setting of the curtain simply by using the up travel setting keyand the down travel setting key.

As shown in, it is a real image of an electric curtain system in the present embodiment. The electric curtain system comprises a mounting housingin which the motor and the controller are mounted. A control circuit board is further disposed in the mounting housing. The up travel setting keyand the down travel setting keyare disposed at a right side of the mounting housingand electrically connected with the control circuit board. Further, the up travel setting keyand the down travel setting keyare disposed on a ring, increasing its aesthetics. Moreover, because they are outside the mounting housing, the user can operate easily.

The travel setting method of the above electric curtain system comprises an up travel setting method and a down travel setting method.

The up travel setting method comprises:

The down travel setting method comprises:

In the above two methods, the short pressing refers to a press action with a press time less than 2 seconds; the long pressing refers to a press action with a press time greater than or equal to 2 seconds.

By the above travel setting method, the up and down travel setting can be carried out simply by using the up travel setting keyor the down travel setting key, without needing additional remote controller or additional operations.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment 1 in that the travel setting method of the embodiment 2 further comprises a third travel setting method. The third travel setting method comprises the following steps:

In the above method, the short pressing refers to a press action with a press time less than 2 seconds; the long pressing refers to a press action with a press time greater than or equal to 2 seconds.

With the third travel, the curtain will not be surely fully opened or closed but can be closed to the third travel position such as a sun shading position, bringing convenience to users.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment 2 in that the embodiment 3 further comprises a pause key which simplifies the operations. The up travel setting keyis used only for up travel and up travel setting, and the down travel setting keyis used only for down travel and down travel setting, and the pause key is used for pausing.

The up travel setting method comprises the following steps:

The down travel setting method comprises the following steps:

The third travel setting method comprises the following steps:

In the above method, the short pressing refers to a press action with a press time less than 2 seconds; the long pressing refers to a press action with a press time greater than or equal to 2 seconds.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment 1 in that the up and down travel setting methods in the embodiment 4 are different.

The up travel setting method comprises the following steps:

The down travel setting method specifically comprises the following steps:

Because the up and down travel setting can be confirmed only by double click, mis-operation can be avoided to some extent.

This embodiment differs from the embodiment 1 in that the up and down travel setting methods in the embodiment 5 are different.

The up travel setting method specifically comprises the following steps:
